- The present invention relates to an inorganic EL element capable of emitting light with direct current.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Electroluminescence (referred to as “EL” in the present invention) elements are roughly classified into inorganic EL elements and organic EL elements due to the difference of their light emitter materials. The inorganic EL element using an inorganic material for the light emitter has a characteristic that the emission lifetime is longer than that of the organic EL element using an organic material for the light emitter. Thereby the inorganic EL element has been put to practical use mainly for applications requiring high durability, such as cash register display units, in-vehicle monitors, and clock backlights.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a key portion of a representative configuration of a conventional inorganic EL element. AnEL element 10 is a thin film EL element of double insulation type, which is formed by laminatinglower electrodes 12, alower insulator layer 13, alight emitter layer 14, anupper insulator layer 15 andupper electrodes 20 in the described order on atransparent substrate 11 having an electric insulation property (seeFIG. 3 of JP-A No. 2004-265740). - As the
transparent substrate 11, there is employed a transparent substrate such as a blue plate glass commonly used in LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) and PDP (Plasma Display Panel). Thelower electrode 12 is generally composed of ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) with a film thickness of about 0.1 to 1 μm. Theupper electrode 20 is composed of a metal such as Al. Thelower insulator layer 13 and theupper insulator layer 15 are thin films with a thickness of about 0.1 to 1 μm each formed by a method such as sputtering or vacuum evaporation, which are generally made of Y2O3, Ta2O5, AIN, BaTiO3 and other materials. Thelight emitter layer 14 is generally composed of a light emitter containing a dopant which is to be an emission center, and its film thickness is generally about 0.05 to 1 μm. - In the conventional EL element having such a configuration, when the electrodes are applied with an alternative voltage or a pulse voltage from an
AC power source 21, thelight emitter layer 14 produces electroluminescence, and its output light is taken out from thetransparent substrate 11 side. In the use of the inorganic EL element as a display, thelower electrodes 12 and theupper electrodes 20 are provided in a stripe-like pattern, wherein one side is set to the row electrodes and the other side is set to the column electrodes, and both of the electrodes are arranged so that the stretching directions thereof are orthogonal to each other. In other words, the matrix electrodes are formed by theelectrodes 12 and theelectrodes 20, in which the portions of the light emitter layer at the crossovers of the row and column electrodes represent pixels, thereby when the alternative voltage or pulse voltage is selectively applied thereto, a specific pixel is emitted, and its output light is taken out from thetransparent substrate 11 side. - However, the above inorganic element requires to be applied with an alternative voltage of 100 V or more at a frequency in the range of several hundreds Hz to dozens KHz, being less and less used in mobile devices such as notebook computers and cellular phones that use batteries, due to the fact that the DC-AC conversion element is necessary and for other reasons.
- On the other hand, attention has been recently focused on the organic element as an element capable of being driven by a direct current, which is commercialized for the in-vehicle applications and cellular phones that use batteries. However, a fluorescent organic solid which is a material of the light emitting layer of the organic EL element is weak against moisture, oxygen and other substances. Also, the characteristics of the electrode provided on the light emitting layer directly, or through a hole injection layer or electron injection layer, are likely to deteriorate due to oxidation. Thus, there is a problem that when the conventional organic EL element is driven in the atmosphere, the emission characteristic deteriorates rapidly. Various efforts are made to cope with this problem (for example, see JP-A No. Hei 11-329718), but the problem is not perfectly solved from the point of view of the lifetime.
- Thus, the direct current inorganic EL element capable of being driven by direct current has been studied with taking advantage of the feature of the long lifetime of the inorganic EL (for example, JP-A No. Hei 5-74572, JP-A No. 2002-313568).
- However, in the case of the conventional direct current inorganic EL elements including those described in the
above Patent Documents - Thus, the present invention is made in light of the above described circumstances, and an object is to provide an inorganic EL element that can be driven by direct current and is useful for high-brightness applications such as lights and light sources in the use of mobile applications and the like.
- In order to solve the above described problem, the direct current inorganic EL element of the present invention, including at least plural electrode layers and a light emitter layer made of an inorganic composition and provided between the electrode layers, is characterized in that the attained brightness in the DC drive is 10000 cd/m2 or more.
- Herein, the term “brightness” refers to a value of which light with a measured viewing angle of 1 degree, when viewed from the normal direction of the light emitting surface of the inorganic El element, is measured by a telescopic luminance meter.
- Further, the inorganic EL element of the present invention is characterized in that the thickness of the EL light emitter layer is 0.05 μm or more and 100 μm or less. Optimizing the thickness of the light emitter layer enables low voltage drive and prevention of short circuit between the electrodes.
- Further, the inorganic EL element of the present invention is characterized in that the surfaces between the above described two electrode layers are both made of different compositions. Changing and optimizing the compositions of the surfaces between the electrodes allows to increase the performances, such as to increase the emission efficiency and the lifetime due to the improvement of the adhesion strength with the electrodes.
- According to the present invention, there can be provided a DC driven inorganic EL emission element useful for mobile applications and other applications. In addition, a light source available for various applications can be provided by having high brightness.

The surface resistivity is preferably 5 Ω/□, and more preferably 1 Ω/□ or less.
- Incidentally, in the case of performing the end face emitting operation that emits light from the end portions of the light emitter layer instead of outputting light via the transparent substrate, the first electrode layer is not required to be transparent, thereby a reflection layer may be formed using such metals as silver, copper, and aluminum.

If the thickness of the light emitter layer is too small, the electrodes layers on the both sides of the EL light emitter layer are likely to short-circuit, so that from the point of view of preventing this, the thickness thereof is preferably 0.05 μm or more, more preferably 0.1 μm or more.
- The deposition method used herein includes a vacuum evaporation method which is a physical evaporation method under vacuum, and methods of depositing an inorganic material, such as sputtering and ion plating.

- As the second electrode layer on the backside of the light emitter layer, it is not limited to a specific one. For example, there is a method of forming the element by depositing a common metal such as silver or aluminum by the vacuum evaporation method or other methods, and when forming the element from the backside substrate, a method of making a conductive plane substrate such as a silicon substrate serves as the electrode.

- (Production of EL Element)
- On a substrate with a silicon single crystal as the backside electrode, the luminescent material is deposited by an EB evaporation unit through a 2×2 mm metal mask which is to be a luminescent part. More specifically, the above described luminescent material is provided to a first evaporation source and selenium is provided to a second evaporation source, wherein the two materials are laminated at the same time, at a constant deposition rate from the first evaporation source, and from the second evaporation source, at a deposition rate so that the weight ratio of selenium is 0.5% or less in the first half of the deposition process and that the weight ratio of selenium is about 1% in the second half of the deposition process.
